Escitalopram hydrobromide is the hydrobromide salt of escitalopram, the S-enantiomer of citalopram, and a highly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is primarily used in the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, Escitalopram HBr improves mood, relieves anxiety, and promotes emotional balance. It is well-tolerated and widely prescribed due to its strong efficacy and favorable safety profile.
Escitalopram hydrobromide selectively inhibits the serotonin transporter (SERT) in the central nervous system. This blocks the reuptake of serotonin into presynaptic neurons, leading to higher serotonin concentrations in the synaptic cleft. The enhanced serotonergic activity helps alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Though serotonin levels increase quickly, clinical benefits generally appear after 2–4 weeks as neurochemical balance stabilizes.
